History
- A 'mystery' tomato offered by Heirloom Tomatoes as Burcham's New Generation, which it is clearly not, as it has a wrong leaf type for this variety. It was probably a result of a seed mixup at Heirloom Tomatoes . Chuck Wyatt of Maryland, who founded Heirloom Tomatoes , described this variety as regular leaf in his SSE listing in 1996, so we know that Burcham's New Generation should be regular leaf.
- Named by Tatiana Kouchnareva in 2010, when she grew the Burcham's New Generation seed purchased from Heirloom Tomatoes .
